Why is the Null Queue Not Working?

jordanking1992 — Wed, 07 Mar 2018 16:16:41 GMT

Hello,

Here is a sample log event I would like to filter:

20180307 11:11:08.795 [process:flow] [INFO] Thread is returning to available thread pool DM.Appl.ThreadPool

Here is current props.conf
[source::/opt/CA/tracelog.txt]
TRANSFORMS-null= setnull

Here is current transforms.conf
[setnull]
REGEX = (?i)[INFO]
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = nullQueue

I would like to send all events that contain [INFO] to null queue but the current configurations on the indexer do not seem to be working. Any thoughts on what might be wrong?

Thanks!

hI jordanking1992,
square parenthesis is a special char for regexes so you have to escape them, try

REGEX = (?i)\[INFO\]

Bye.
